Welcome to GroLab™ the Future of Agricultural Automation

GroLab™ is the most versatile and powerful grow controller, that allows you to automate all the aspects of any agricultural grow.

This system is intended to suit from hobbyist to professional growers, providing industrial grade technology with an extremely easy-to-use interface.

Its modular architecture makes it possible to adapt to any environment regardless of its size, type, growing medium or growing system.

Monitor every variable and precisely control all the devices from your growing environment, in real-time, through an intuitive software.

GroLab™ allows you to do all of this from anywhere at anytime thanks to remote control and notifications systems.

Bring your grows to the 21st century and get the peace of mind you deserve.

GRONODE THE CENTRAL CONTROLLER UNIT

A state of the art growing unit that controls the other GroLab™ modules, it is the core piece of this agricultural automation system.

GroNode is capable to execute hundreds of instructions and to store a large amount of data allowing a detailed analysis about the life cycle of the user’s plants.

This little controller automates all the growing environment tasks, freeing you from all the hard work and it can also notify you if a risk situation arises.

It also provides remote control, cloud features, e-mail notifications and the tools to create your own homemade security system!

GroNode can be your grow assistant that knows all the info regarding the needs of your plants!

CO₂ Compact Sensor

The new GroLab™ CO₂ Compact Sensor is designed to automatically and reliably monitor the most critical environmental variables for a healthy and productive grow.

This 4-in-1 sensor accurately measures CO₂ levels, temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity. It uses NDIR technology for CO₂, ensuring fast and precise readings up to 5000 ppm, which is crucial for optimizing CO₂ enrichment systems and preventing waste.

With a compact design, the sensor is easy to install and integrates seamlessly with the GroLab™ platform. This allows for automatic data processing, alerts, and automated actions for greater precision and less intervention.

Compatible with the GroLab™ PowerBot and third-party systems, it communicates via the RS-485 protocol. Its installation is intuitive and can be adapted to monitor CO₂ levels in real-time and automatically activate systems like solenoid valves. The integrated light sensor also lets you pause enrichment at night.

TANKBOT THE TANK MANAGER AND NUTRIENTS DOSING CONTROLLER

TankBot is a precise grow controller that allows a complete water tank control, nutrients dosing, pH regulation and full crop security.

Thanks to the capability of handling actuators of 12v, it is possible to create impressive irrigation systems and a precise nutrients solution automation.

This controller supports a wide variety of peripherals like solenoid valves, peristaltic pumps, water pumps, relays and power contactors, giving you a huge amount of automation solutions.

TankBot does not only monitor the pH, EC and water temperature but also supports 4 switch sensors of your choice like water level sensors or motion/smoke detectors.

Free yourself from the boring tank management tasks and increase your growing environment protection with TankBot!

SoilBot The Versatile Substrate Analyzer

SoilBot is designed for the rigorous growers who wants to completely monitor the substrate where their plants grow.

This controller has the capability to measure the substrate moisture and temperature regardless of whether it is soil, rock wool, coconut or a recurrent dipping of roots in water.

Combined with PowerBot or TankBot allows a complete substrate automation based on the water and temperature needs of your plants, improving the water-use and growth efficiency.

SoilBot also incorporates safety sensors for flood detection!
